5850 drops to khash/s

Greetings all,

Feels good to back in the best community of all time!  Just started mining again with my Asus-5850 gpu and have been running into a small problem that I figured may be a simple fix.

Using GuiMiner v2012-11-18 I start off by getting around 280 mhash/s with a modest overclock.  I'll come back to my computer after a while (as little as 10 minutes) and the card utilization drops to practically nothing with about 250 k/hash per second?

I know it's not overheating and shutting itself off as the gpu is watercooled and runs at a sweet 25-27 degrees Celsius all times. 

Anyone know what might be going on here?

Thanks for taking a look!

*** UPDATE ***
Upon further monitoring, it looks like it decided to stop dedicating full resources after the block was solved and a new block was started?  Is there a way to prevent this?  Otherwise I have to click stop mining and then start mining again to get it back up to 280 mhash/s
